NÉMETH HAJNAL: CRASH – PASSIVE INTERVIEW

Haj­nal Né­meth’s ins­tal­la­ti­on Crash – Pas­sive In­ter­view will be on show in the Hun­ga­ri­an Pa­vi­li­on at the 54th In­ter­na­ti­o­nal Art Ex­hi­bit­ion of the Ve­ni­ce Bi­en­nale in 2011.

The ske­let­on of the work is a con­tem­por­ary opera that takes place on the stage of life, re­lat­ing, and ref­lec­ting on the stori­es of car cras­hes in a dia­log­i­cal form: the cri­ti­cal mo­ment slo­wed down by me­mory and re­coun­ted in ut­most de­ta­il; the drive and the co­ur­se of events lead­ing up to that mo­ment; as well as the comp­lex re­la­ti­on of man to dri­ving, in view of his inc­li­na­ti­on to fe­tis­hi­ze his tech­ni­cal ob­jects.

Fil­ling the space as an aco­us­tic ex­pe­ri­en­ce, the piece will also be pre­sen­ted at the show in the form of a mu­si­cal film.

The ins­tal­la­ti­on is comp­le­men­ted with the lib­ret­tos of the dia­lo­gues, na­mely the writ­ten re­cords of the pas­sive in­ter­views, as well as the real life wreck of a car to­talled in a crash, which oc­cu­pi­es the space as an evo­ca­tive ar­te­fact. Beyond the in­di­vi­du­al events that are re­cor­ded, sung, or imp­res­sed in a chas­sis, the com­po­s­ed vers­ions of in­di­vi­du­al life stori­es sug­gest the pos­si­bi­lity of de­ter­mi­nacy with re­gard to human des­tiny.
